Ceemet has been clear since the outset about our key priorities for the European Technology and Industry sector to ensure a smooth exit for the UK from the EU. This report explores four priorities providing background and setting our specific recommendations for the future relationship between the EU and the UK.
- Maintain free and frictionless trade, avoiding tariff and non-tariff barriers to the movement of goods and services while ensuring the integrity of the Single Market;
- Enable people to move freely across borders to support complex supply chains and address the sector’s skills gap;
- Ensure a single regulatory environment, supported by mutual recognition and regulatory cooperation;
- Consult industry to ensure negotiations deliver a deal which works for manufacturers across Europe and in the UK.
